Bio
..James Wayman is a musician, a music fan, and a writing teacher at an alternative education program in Rockford. Since 1993, James has held the bass guitar role for several bands, including New Society, Pi, JWS, the Shards, Junket, Since I Was 3, and Hit List, as well as backing a number of solo performers (Paul Allodi, John Metzger, Jim Henning, King Casey [Lanken], and Karlye Lapetina). ..In summer of 2006, James decided to take on the challenge of writing, performing, and recording an album of original music. The resulting album, HEALING SONGS, was independently released in January of 2008. The cd can be purchased online at CDBaby.com, or at most Since I Was 3 performances. You can purchase downloads of the individual songs at iTunes (via Power Search), DigStation.com, and at Amie Street. A 5 minute sample of the record is available for download from this page. ..Most recently, James has joined forces with Arthur Daniels (vocals) and Terry Bernett (sax) in a new project called THREE FINGER POUR. They've just finished mix and master on their debut EP, TIME SPENT and it should be available anyday now. James is working as a co-producer and session musician for an upcoming EP with and for former Junket/JWS bandmate, Adam "Radstarr" Franklin. He is also entertaining offers to produce album projects. In addition to TIME SPENT, James's production credits also include HEALING SONGS and Radstarr's NOT THAT PERFECT ep, ..Check back for an exclusive look to demo versions, rough mixes, and unreleased songs, and your comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

Sounds Like
someone has been listening to an awful lot of R.E.M., Smithereens, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Robert Plant, and Sugar albums. Comfort music for people who miss the sounds of the alt-rock explosion of the late '80's/early '90's.
